You point out the left window and yell "Oh my God! What is that?" And while the instructor is distracted you press and hold the traction control button.

Serious!? Same little tool singing same old tune. In case you hadn't noticed they are in short supply. Everyone's bored with your 1M envy. Either get an ///M or shut up tubby.

For everyone's sake, why don't you two just shut it? Play with each other in some other threads.

My question to Geoff was "how do you compare the 1M to the M3?". His response was "What do you prefer? It is individual choices".

However, he didn't have any problem with heat issues when they launch the 1M press day.

Most people in the group prefer the M3.

Thanks Steve for organising the day, I had a blast.
It was great meeting you guys, and a really good group of people.

The M3 is a fun car on the track and very easy to drive. I loved the hot lap with Geoff.
Kamal, thanks for putting up with me getting us in trouble!

Cheers
Ian

It would have been very close - at least knows where his brakes are when Geoff stopped the car.

Didn't have a chance to have a good chat - would have love to setup some drug deals with you.

Also, we found out today the original poster has already asked the question and was answered without going around in circles, or should I say the answer was about going around in circles. .

Echoing sentiments of the others.. thanks Steve for taking charge and organising the day with BMW. Thanks also to BMW for a day which ran like clockwork. I had a great driving day with a great bunch of blokes. Happy to be shown my inadequacies in the driver seat !! Good fun day all round, including the dinner. Thanks all
